Synopsis
Passion Fish (1992) is a quiet American indie drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by John Sayles, with Mary McDonnell and Alfre Woodard heading a strong cast.
May-Alice Culhane is a daytime soap actress until a car crash leaves her a paraplegic. She retreats to her family home in the Louisiana bayou and starts drinking hard. The agency sends her Chantelle — a nurse carrying her own unfinished business. They don't get along. Then they do.
Sayles built the film entirely outside the studio system, the way he always works. Both McDonnell and Woodard received Oscar nominations for these performances. This is not a recovery story in the conventional sense — it's about two women from opposite ends of the country who end up needing each other in ways neither expected.
